Hi Doc,
What can I do about hemorroids? I'm eating a good diet, exercising and have two daily regular bowel movements. Any suggestions??
Hi Doc,
What can I do about hemorroids? I'm eating a good diet, exercising and have two daily regular bowel movements. Any suggestions??
Hello EMKP,
Hemorrhoids are varicose veins. They are frequently worsened by difficulties with digestion and sensitivities to a variety of foods and drinks (alcohol, especially in beer, can be a significant trigger). Some of the foods that frequently cause problems include milk, white flour, white sugar, corn, and anything made with them. If you read labels, you will find these in most everything. Try to eliminate them as much as possible.
Another major factor that causes hemorrhoids to flare up is a lack of pure water. Most of us do not drink enough water. You can safely drink up to half your body weight in ounces of water each day. If you do not like the taste of water, add the juice from half a fresh lemon or lime. I haven't found anyone, of any age, that did not like lemon or lime water. Make sure your water contains no chlorine or fluorine. You can purchase excellent pressed carbon, charcoal filters that fit on your faucet at most any department store like Wal-Mart, etc.
One other consideration is for you to call 800-614-4400 and ask for the name and phone number of a certified Enzyme Therapist close to you. This specialist could work with you to improve your diet and, more importantly, your digestion and even provide an enzyme formula that is very helpful for varicose veins anywhere.
Lastly, veins swell (varicose) because their walls become weakened. Vitamin C and, especially, bioflavonoids, help strengthen connective tissue like what is found in the walls of veins. Make sure you are taking adequate Vitamin C complex with Bioflavonoid complex. A good baseline would be 500 mg. with each meal and at bedtime. Check at your local health food store for an Ester C formula with bioflavonoids (capsules usually dissolve better than tablets).
Best of Health,

Thank You for your prompt reply. I am very careful about my diet and do not drink any alcohol. I also avoid whitle flour, sugar and milk. I also have access to pure water and try to drink at least two quarts daily. However, I have been out of Vitamin C for several weeks and haven't gotten around to replentising my supply!!! Haven't had any citris lately either..... Thank you
Hi EMKP,
Sounds like you are doing most everything you need to help minimize and correct your problem. Keep up the good work.
Definitely consider seeking some assistance with digestion (enzyme therapy), and make sure you continue to get enough fiber.
You are welcome.
Best of Health,
Doc Kelley
Which is better to take for hemorroids, Ibuprophen or Advil?
Will taking Ibuprophen for Hemorroids do any good?
Hello Rod,
Neither Ibuprophen nor Advil will do anything to help with the cause of hemorrhoids. There are basically two types of hemorrhoids: external and internal. They are both like varicose veins where the blood vessels develop a swelling or bulge.
Internal type hemorrhoids have 4 grades. 1 is a mild distension. 2 prolapses (bulges out) with bowel movements. 3 prolapses with bowel movements and must be pushed back in. 4 prolapses and can not be replaced. Generally grade 4 is referred for surgery. Whenever this is the case, consider the less invasive alternatives such as galvanic treatment.
To prevent hemorrhoids from occurring or increasing in grade, you need to discover what is causing them. Varicose veins develop because of pressure. If the walls of your veins cannot support increased pressure, they bulge. This weakened bulge can result in a hemorrhoid. Vitamin C and, especially, bioflavonoids help maintain and increase the strength of connective tissue such as found in the walls of blood vessels.
Problems with digestion can result in constipation and/or diarrhea. This increases pressure in your bowels. Elimination difficulties are most often caused by lack of adequate water intake, poor digestion, and food sensitivities that result in inflammatory conditions in your intestines.
As you can see hemorrhoids are simply an outward sign of your body's loss of homeostasis or balance. You need to find a health care professional who can help you find the causes for your problem and not just treat the symptoms. Call 800-614-4400 and ask for the name and number of a certified Enzyme Therapy Associate close to you.
In the meantime, make sure you are drinking lots of pure (no chlorine or fluorine) water every day. Simplify your food choices. Select lighter meats such as chicken, turkey, fresh deep ocean fish, and wild game. Eat plenty of fresh, leafy vegetables with your meals. Apples are excellent for fiber. Avoid white sugar, white flour, milk, cheese, and anything made with any of these. All of them are usually right at the top of food sensitivity lists for causing and worsening bowel problems.
Best of health,
Doc Kelley

The Office for Tax Simplification (OTS) has urged the Government to implement a digital system for inheritance tax, following complaints that the current form-filling system is too complex.
On average, there are around 570,000 deaths in the UK every year, and inheritance tax is due on less than 5% of estates.
Although the majority of estates are not liable to pay the tax, executors had to fill out inheritance tax forms for almost half of all deaths in 2015/16.
To make the process easier, the OTS recommended creating a "fully integrated digital system for inheritance tax", which would include the ability to complete and submit a probate application.
The report added that in the short term, HMRC should improve its current forms and guidance for the tax.
Angela Knight, chair at the OTS, said:
"The recommendations in this report will make it easier for the majority, and would mean that in future, many may not have to do the forms at all.
"Improving the administration of this tax is important as having to deal with the current process can seem overwhelming to people at a time when they are both preoccupied and distressed."

Jeremy London wants everyone to know he really was kidnapped.
"It's been an absolute nightmare," London said in a videotaped statement released to RadarOnline. "First of all, I want to say it actually did happen. It was one of the worst days of my life. I thought I was going to die. Thank God I made it out alive."
Jeremy London tells police he was kidnapped and forced to use drugs; suspect in custody
The Party of Five alum told authorities that he was kidnapped after two men stopped to help him change a flat tire. The 37-year-old actor said he was forced to use illicit drugs, but was later able to escape the car.
"I had a gun put to my head," he said. "I had my family threatened. We're working closely with the Palm Springs Police Department to get the rest of the guys. There's one guy in custody. There's two more out there."
London, who has long struggled with drug abuse in the past, said he is also seeking restraining orders against his mother and twin brother Jason, who he claims have spread "outrageous lies" about his kidnapping.
Party of Five alum Jeremy London on drug abuse: "I didn't care if I died"
Brandon Adams, 26, was arrested June 11 on charges of kidnapping, possession of stolen property and vehicle theft. He plead not guilty to kidnapping London.

Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate gland. It is a term that encompasses four disorders of the prostate: acute bacterial prostatitis, chronic bacterial prostatitis, chronic nonbacterial prostatitis, and prostadynia.
Chronic nonbacterial prostatitis (NBP), also called chronic abacterial prostatitis (CAP), is the most common form of prostatitis. NBP is usually caused by infectious agents such as fungi, mycoplasma, or viruses.1 Prostadynia (PD), also called chronic pelvic pain syndrome, is a noninfectious form of prostatitis. Although the cause is unknown, it has been proposed that PD may be a neuromuscular condition, causing pain of the pelvic floor muscles.2 Acute bacterial prostatitis (ABP) results from a urinary tract infection (usually from E. coli bacteria) that has spread to the prostate. Chronic bacterial prostatitis (CBP) is usually the result of a partial blockage of the male urinary tract, such as occurs with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Such blockages promote the harboring of bacteria from a previous infection and reduce circulation, thereby preventing both the body's natural immune mechanisms and medication from getting to the site.
Men with prostatitis may have symptoms including pain or discomfort in the lower abdomen, testicles, and penis; discomfort during ejaculation or urination; or a weak urinary stream with dribbling. Advanced cases may also have fever, chills, frequent urge to urinate, burning urination, blood passed in the urine, and pain in the joints and muscles.
Urination and ejaculation may provide defense against prostatic infection by flushing the urethra. The prostate also secretes an antibacterial substance known as "prostatic antibacterial factor" into the seminal fluid (semen), which helps to fight infection.3 In one preliminary study, unmarried men with NBP who had avoided sexual activity for personal or religious reasons and who had not responded to medication, were encouraged to masturbate at least twice a week for six months. Out of 18 men, 78% experienced moderate to complete relief of symptoms.4
Use of tobacco, especially by smoking, reduces the zinc content of prostatic fluid, and may therefore reduce natural immunity to prostate infection.5 No research, however, has investigated the effect of smoking cessation on the prevention of prostatitis.
Acupuncture may be helpful for chronic prostatitis according to one small, uncontrolled study.6 Seventeen patients with chronic prostatitis that was unresponsive to conventional therapy were treated with electroacupuncture (acupuncture with electrical stimulation). The effectiveness of electroacupuncture therapy was reported to be moderate in 70% and excellent in 30% of the patients treated.
Prostatic massage through the rectum was once a common treatment for CBP and NBP, and is still prescribed by some practitioners. Prostatic massage is thought to promote circulation and drainage of infected areas.7 While little scientific research has been done to evaluate the effectiveness of this treatment, some physicians and their patients have reported symptomatic improvement.8 Prostatic massage should be conducted only by a trained specialist. Prostatic massage should be avoided in ABP because it is painful and could spread the infection.9 Also avoid this therapy in the presence of prostatic calculi (stones), a condition common in elderly men in which small calcifications develop in the prostate.
Controlled studies indicate psychological factors, such as anxiety and depression, occur more frequently in men with NBP and PD.10, 11, 12 This may be because psychological factors contribute to the development of NBP and PD, or perhaps they occur as a result of prostatitis. Nonetheless, some practitioners believe psychotherapy may help reduce symptoms in these cases.13
Some researchers have reported that certain cases of chronic prostatitis are helped by biofeedback (using simple electronic devices to measure and report information about a person's biological system) and other treatments aimed at reducing chronic pain.14 This suggests that some of the causes of PD, and possibly NBP, may be neuromuscular. In support of this idea, smooth muscle relaxing medications are reported to reduce symptoms in men with CBP, NBP, and PD, and to reduce the recurrence rate of CBP.15 However, no controlled research has explored the effectiveness of biofeedback or alternative neuromuscular therapies for prostatitis.
A sitz bath is the immersion of the pelvic region (up to the navel) in water. Sitz baths are reported to provide temporary relief of symptoms in men with chronic prostatitis, although no controlled research has evaluated these claims.16, 17 This therapy is not recommended in ABP, as it may worsen the infection.18 In chronic prostatitis, doctors of natural medicine recommend "contrast sitz baths," a series of alternating hot and cold baths, requiring two tubs (or a bathtub and adequately sized basin), one for each temperature. The hot sitz bath is taken first with the water at a temperature of 105–115ºF for 3 minutes. This is immediately followed by the cold sitz bath at 55–85º F for 30 seconds. This process is repeated two more times, for a total of six baths (three hot and three cold) per treatment.19

Hell and Heaven Festival Featuring Guns N' Roses and Kiss Reportedly Canceled
Update - The organizers of the festival have stated on Facebook that they will reveal a new location for the event shortly:
Good morning!
Soon will announce all the necessary info about the Hell & Heaven Fest official follows on foot and confirmed we are 15 and 16 March, the location is next to announce. (Translation by Bing)
Breaking news out of Mexico. The Hell and Heaven Metal Fest, which was scheduled for this coming weekend and to be headlined by Kiss and Guns N' Roses, has reportedly been canceled due to safety concerns. However, the organizers of the festival haven't given up the fight.
Vintage Vinyl says that the state government has shut down the festival, claiming that the organizers have not properly prepared for crowds of up to 80,000 at the Feria De Texcoco Estadio De Mexico in Texoco. They've cited inadequate plans for fire safety, evacuation and fireworks.
Last week, Pollstar reported on the attempts to shut down the festival, hinting at a political struggle between the town and state governments, which are controlled by rival parties. The stadium has held fairs and concerts before, including those featuring the controversial "narco corridos" songs, which chronicle the actions of Mexico's drug cartels.
"I don't know if this is discrimination against the metal community," said Juan Carlos Guerrero, a representative for the organizers of the Hell and Heaven Metal Fest. "I couldn't prove that's the case, but there are some things that make you wonder, and one is that massive 'grupero' concerts have been held in Texcoco, with as many as 200,000 people."
The festival was scheduled to be the opening date on Guns N' Roses' tour of Latin America, which will run through April 9. They will begin their second residency at the Joint in Las Vegas' Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on May 21.

Infield of dreams?
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Not so much. Blue Jays first baseman Lyle Overbay — out with a sore right ankle — as well as the Rays' Eric Hinske, who manned first on Tuesday, both had negative comments about the field conditions at the Wide World of Sports Complex.
Overbay had one "routine" grounder bounced to him on Tuesday night that he said "took a right turn," hindering him from gloving the ball. Hinske's blunder in the second inning on Tuesday was also a result of a strange hop. The problem is there isn't a team that uses this park regularly after Spring Training, so it likely doesn't get the same daily treatment as a big-league park.
"Not to bash them or anything," Overbay said. "But I just have a hard time thinking that the Braves have Spring Training here and play on that kind of field. I know they play a lot of games here after Spring Training, so it's frustrating.
"Routine ground balls, I mean, that ball took a right turn and went straight up. That ball would've hit me right in my face if it didn't [turn], and that's a routine ground ball. That's not a hard hit ball."
Blue Jays manager John Gibbons also isn't a big fan of playing in this 9,500-seat ballpark, which drew only 8,269 on Tuesday night (paid attendance anyway). The Jays understand why the Rays would want to hold games here, but that doesn't mean Toronto has to be a big fan of the idea.
"I didn't like the feel out there last night," Gibbons said. "Plus, there were some empty seats out there yesterday. You can see their idea, you know, drawing up some interest — it makes sense."
Overbay had X-rays on his right ankle on Tuesday night, but the results came back negative. Alex Rios was out of the lineup for the second straight game — this time due to flu-like symptoms. I caught a glimpse of Rios laying on a training table before the game and, yeah, dude looked to be in real rough shape.
On another note, Gibbons said that Jesse Litsch shouldn't be looking over his shoulder for now, even though the young righty has struggled out of the gates. Now, if Litsch's woes persist for another 3-5 outings? "That's a long way down the road. That's a month from now," was all Gibby would offer. Oh, and Josh Banks? Probably 7th or 8th on the rotation depth chart? Claimed off waiver by the Padres.

It makes no sense to play these games in Orlando. One way to touch the fan base of the Orlando area is to put a winning team on the field. You win, they will show up. It is proven, everyone loves a winner.
It has a total feel of a spring training game. I am looking for #87 to play 3b and some other guy with #68 at s.s. lol. The pitchers should be running in the o.f. after they pitch, lol.
Rays are 4-0 at the hallowed grounds of Disney.
Now we will see how Dias handles big league pitchen.
I feel sorry for Doc no run support lets hope that changes today.
gsumner Your right Bonds is a moot point.
Rmatty-one thing I forgot
What you forget is it's always about hitting with runners in scoring position. Bonds used to be great in that regard, but not any more.
Last year, he hit only .276 with runners in scoring position, Lind hit .333 while in Toronto. He is a great clutch hitter. So to answer your question, I'd take Lind over Bonds any day.
I'm hoping they aren't just having him hit in the DL role and send him back down for Lind's call up.
G. if his bat comes alive he will stay here.
Check out Seth Overbay in AA New Hampshire. he's a right handed sinker ball guy with a slinger delivery and is deadly against RH batters. We might see him here sooner than you think. We drafted him in 2006; he started in Auburn, did well and in 2007 went to Lansing-A-, was promoted to Dunedin-A+ and finally New Hampshire-AA. In 34 innings of relieve at Lansing and Dunedin, his era was .000, which is why he got promoted so quickly to AA. Then he stumbled a bit ( maybe too much too quickly) at AA and ended the season there at 4.26.
However, it looks like he's adjusted and in 9.2 innings of relieve this year has struck out 10 and has an era of .93.
If Bonds comes up with a runner on first and hits a homerun does it really matter if the runner is in scoring position or not??? Or he gets walked (which he does at a higher rate then anyone in the history of the game) then you now have a runner in scoring position. RISP means squat when comparing a guy who hits 10 hr a years vs a guy who hits 30. That's any extra 20rbi without counting the guys that are potentially on base when the homerun comes. Lind strikes out a lot and obviously you don't advance any runners when you strike out.
Well we are in he bottom now and I don't think we will leave the bottom this year unless someone shakes up this team, I for one am getting tired of the way they are hitting, If we cant beat teams like Tampa we have no chance.
We just dumped a 10 million dollar old man that walked a lot and had a massive ego, the last thing this team needs is another one of those. Lead off hitters are paid for walks, not a guy hitting in the 3rd to 5th hole-they're paid the big bucks to hit with runners in scoring position and knock in runs.
Check Bonds stats, you'll find this RISP dropped dramatcially last year-he's done, which is the reason San Francisco didn't bring him back . Just so you know Bonds struck out once every 6.3 at bats, and Lind is striking out 1 every 6.2 at bats. I think you just want to se Bonds play. You should have done that last year, flew to a close NL park and watched the guy, because you'll never see him here.
Lind is leading AAA in RBI's, 3rd in BA, 5th in OBP and 6th in slg. He has driven in 16 runs in 62 at bats. He's hitting .400 with RISP. Compare those stats with Stewart Shannon's and then question why is Lind not up here?
gsumner.JP will probley bring Lind up tonight and send Dias back down for now.
Don't under estimate Tampa Bay, they're no push over this year. I thought both Hill and Eckstein were playing awful shallow tonight, and two balls got through Eckstein that should normally be caught. I also saw a team play tonight without any intensity, simply going threw the motions.
Why is Stewart still batting 2nd against a RH pitcher. As a matter of interest, why is Stewart batting against RH's at all? Why isn't Lind up and batting against RH's and platooning with Stewart. Stewart is hitting .152 against RH's and .205 overall. Drop him to 9th and put Inglett or anyone in the 2 hole for tonight, but get Lind on a plane for tommorrow.
By the way in case anyone is interested, Reed Johnson's leading off for Chicago and hitting .323. Yup, that was a smart decision. Just about as smart as continually batting Stewart 2nd-what the hell is wrong with Abner-does he not think-or just not want to win?
I get the feeling from Abner's comments that Diaz is going back down when Lind is called up. My question is why would we do that? Barajas is another massive under performer-now hitting some anemic number close to the mendosa line and worse against LH's. Diaz can out hit him, out defend him and be a quality pinch hitter making the major league minimum.
Come on JP, lets see some decisions made before we drop 7-10 games back. Take a serious look at why these guys are not playing with intensity against poor teams. Somebody needs to make some decisions and then kick some *** around here or the season will be gone in a heart beat.
gsumner I'm with you cut Barajas and keep Dias.
Dias never got a hit tonight but it means nothing the kid can and will hit,
As for the Rays we have a better team than they have and we should be beating them 75% of the time, We play great against the big teams like New York and Boston and poorly against the bottom teams their is no excuse for this and if it keeps up we will be done is Sept.once again and I FOR ONE AM TIRED of the bull—-.
man this team sucks….its like torture watching your ACE turn into nothing more then a 5th string pitcher after 5 innings….unacceptable for DOC..
I think if Macdonald had played SS instead of Eckstein two of the balls that got through wouldn't have and Doc would have been out of the inning with minimal damage. Eckstein's range sucks.
Garry, it we keep playing like this, we'll be long gone before September.
One interesting item for the night. Purcey went 6 innings for Syracuse tonight, gave up 5 hits, 4 bb's, 2 runs, and struck out 9. He struck out 4 of the first 5 hitters.
What's going to happen is that someone is going to get fired real soon. I think they are just waiting to see if they start winning with Rolen in the lineup. But if they don't, I think it's pretty safe to say good bye to someone (probably Gibbons)
QUOTE "Take a serious look at why these guys are not playing with intensity against poor teams.'
I'm with you on this one, gsumner. I couldn't take it past the 6th inning last night and went to bed. I wonder if it's the air in Toronto, or something? I mean, don't even get me going on the Leafs, the Raptors are being absolutely savaged physically, and the Jays can't take it to a team with mediocre pitching at best that we should beat hands down.
I agree with Mulineks that they lack aggressiveness with RISP. Guys are taught plate discipline through the whole organization, but there are times that you turn it loose, and mostly they can't make the switch. Too many first strike pitches sail past.
I liked what I saw from Diaz. See ball, hit ball. He hit it hard a couple of times, just right to people.
Has this team even won a game this year when they have been behind in the late innings? I seems as if as soon as they lose the lead, the air goes out of them.
0 for 8 with runners in scoring position last night, and a dismal 8 for their last 69 or .120 BA. This is what is loosing ballgames.
This lineup needs a serious wake up call. We have made one positive decision in dumping Thomas, but other changes need to be made. Sit Stewart, bring in Lind and play him against all RH's, dump Barajas, play Diaz against LH's, and pray Rolen comes back heathy.
This team has a problem I don't know what it is but it is a big one,We have some of the best players in the majors,
Plus great pitchen, Last night two plays missed by Esk.and one our first baseman[mr.B,] KILLED-Doc.
If we don't start hitting with RISP.we are going to stay in the bottom.
As for Rolen when he comes back he can't do it alone the two players who are covering for him are doing a good job.
What we need is for this team to come to the ballpark to play ball not to dream all day about how they are going to spend all the money they are making, Most of them should be ashamed to pick up their paycheque.
When we let Thomas go I thought it was the right thing to do now I'm not sure if it was, He will cost us 8 mil and he will wind up playing against us with a vengence and we will miss him when his bat comes to life remember he had 3 hr 10 rbi and a good on base per. After we let him go we did not improve.
I am not a well man I don't know if I will be here next year so I was hoping they would make the playoffs this year they don't have to win the world series just get into the playoffs Dont get me wrong I'm not looking for pitty I just want this team to do something this year it has been 15 years how long can they keep this charade up.
Last year my football team won the greycup the Montreal Canadians are my hockey team and they are winners why not the Jays.
Here's a look at Thomas's stats in siitations where it matters. It's really pathetic.
2 outs, RISP: .154BA .154OBP, .462 slg.
Late & Close RISP: .125 BA, .222 OBP, .375Slg
Tie Game RISP: .227BA, .261OBP .409Slg
**Late & Close are PA in the 7th or later with the batting team tied, ahead by one, or the tying run at least on deck.
gsumner thanks for the info but they still should have kept him and left him on the bench and let him quit which he probably would have and the jays would have saved the money.
The money was gone, one way or the other. He was a problem in the clubhouse which would have gotten significantly worse if they hadn't released him. They made the right decision on Thomas.
I wonder if the Jays attendance is up or down so far this year does anybody know and if you know will you please post it thankyou.The great and I mean great garryguy.
This url gives you attendance figures for all teams. THis shows their attendance average to date is 26,812.
The attendance average last year was 29,143. I think the fans start going later than sooner, so I don't think this means much at this point; and I'm not sure if they're currently ahead or behind last years "to date" numbers..
Thomas agrees to deal with Oakland, the deal was just announced.
I think that means we don't pick up all his remaining 2008 salary. But, I don't look forward to playing Oakland. lol
I said Thomas would go to the A's now he will hurt us.
They signed him for less than the minimum we still have to pay him 8mil lucky us.
G. I checked out Seath Overbay 9.2ins and only 1 er. very good
the interesting thing about Overbay, is he's a slinger, so he provides a different look than other relievers. I think that why he's been so successful.
The other one to check in AA is 2nd baseman Scott Campbell. He started off really strong and I keep expecting his BA to fall, but with 54 at bats, he's still hitting .444/.500/.556.

I was reading about binary trees and I decided I want to create a templated B-Tree class. However, i would like to be able to eliminate the key (more or less - it may still be present, but not necessarily used in the same manner). Instead of using the key to search and insert, I would rather use a user defined function to determine whether an object is greater than or less than another (much like the third parameter in sort()). This part I am somewhat familiar with. What I want to know is, because it seems rather silly to make the user create a function for primitive types, how could I programatically differentiate between primitive types and aggregates? In other words, how could I have it use a pre-defined function when the tree is of type int.
I just thought of something. Perhaps default values for the function pointer parameter is the way to go?
Code:template<class _T> class BTree { typedef int KeyBTree; //The key defined within the Btree class KeyBTree insert(const _T &, void * = NULL); } PseudoCode BTree::insert(..., void *p) { if(!p) p = DefaultFunction(); // inline bool DefaultFunction(){return _T1 < _T2} //........... }
I have yet to try it - I'm too tired to take this on right now.
Perhaps someone else has a batter idea?

For an overview of giant ant variants in the Fallout series of games, see giant ant.
Fire ants are creatures living in the Capital Wasteland in 2277. They are a variation of giant ants that have been genetically modified, and their name comes from their ability to expel a flammable acid from their mandibles.
The fire ants of the Capital Wasteland were created by a scientist named Doctor Lesko. The doctor was attempting to return giant ants to their normal size through genetic manipulation and accidentally created the fire ants. Dr. Lesko's ambition was to make the ants exponentially smaller through generations, meaning the offspring are born smaller than their parents for generations to come. But as he reasons, one small tweak of an error has left the ants with a completely different mutation. The fact that Lesko used F.E.V. in his experiments in order to produce a quicker result may also help explain the "error." Lesko further explains in very technical terms that the ants breathe fire by expelling flammable venom from what was their venom sacks, then igniting it with a spark made by clicking their mandibles. He calls this process "pyrosis" which is the medical term for heartburn.
It is not known how fire ants came to be in the Mojave Wasteland, but theories are that their ability to breathe fire has been developed in the same way as the similar ability of fire geckos.
Fire ants have a hard, red-orange carapace that protects their body from environmental factors. They live in enormous underground colonies where they eat, sleep, and mate with the queen. Fire ants are omnivorous, either using their pyrosis to kill prey, or eating what little vegetation they can find, when necessary.
Gameplay attributesEdit
Fire ants like to attack from range with a fire breath attack, which has a surprisingly long effective range. The ants seem to have a minimum range at which they can breathe fire. If a character gets extremely close to the ants, they will constantly try to move backwards, letting off a spurt of flame or two. Additionally, they have a slow turn speed.
If their antennae are crippled, they will become frenzied. Once a fire ant becomes frenzied, it will attack other nearby fire ants and other non-player characters. Once attacked by another ant, the attacked ant will defend itself, damaging the attacking ant. When the frenzied ant kills something, the player character gains the appropriate Experience Points for that kill.
Due to their high resistance to fire, fire damage based weapons like the flamer and the Shishkebab will have little effect on them.
Fire ant soldierEdit
Fire ant soldiers are the second lowest ranked ant in a fire ant colony. Their job is to protect their area from intruders. They are very aggressive and will attack humans, as well as other creatures, on sight. They are relatively easy to defeat at medium levels or with a well-equipped low level character.
|Name (Base ID)
|Fire ant soldier
Fire ant warriorEdit
Fire ant warriors are the predominant variety of ant the Lone Wanderer may encounter in Grayditch and in the Marigold station at higher levels. They have a high amount of HP and high attack damage.
|Name (Base ID)
|Fire ant warrior
Fire ant workerEdit
Fire ant workers are the backbone for the ant community's infrastructure. As the name implies, they dig tunnels and care for the eggs. However, they will attack intruders if they are threatened. They are much weaker than any other variant.
|Name (Base ID)
|Fire ant worker
Fire ant nest guardianEdit
Fire ant nest guardians are unique versions of fire ant warriors. There are only five of these ants protecting the queen. Doctor Lesko refers to these ants as "The Queen's Quintet."
|Name (Base ID)
|Fire ant nest guardian
Marigold ant queenEdit
This ant queen is found in the queen ant's hatchery. Like the others in the game, she is slow and has a ranged acid spitting attack that does a fair amount of damage. She cannot spit fire because Doctor Lesko's experiment affected only her eggs. The queen has a very high amount of HP and is considered a "boss" enemy in the game.

|Giant ant queen

You may have already seen it this morning: an over-the-top, too-easy-to-ridicule letter to the editor that ran in Tuesday's Chronicle.
The letter, written by Judy Spelman and Rich Schiller of Point Reyes Station, is entitled "Unsportsmanlike conduct in Seattle" and has well over 2,000 shares on Facebook.
In case you missed it, the full text is here:
Was anyone else appalled by the unsportsmanlike conduct of the Seattle Seahawks and their fans, juiced on noise, which surely creates as big an advantage over an opponent as any performance enhancing drug and which, to their shame, NFL officials turn the same blind eye they have to concussions and drugs ("Seattle states case loudly, clearly in rout," Sports, Sept. 16)?
It would be simple to fix. Seahawks players and managers would ask their fans to cease and desist, and the NFL would implement a new rule: The visiting team may stop the game when fan noise is greater than a specified decibel level, and should this rule be violated in more than three games, no home games will be played at the offending field for the rest of the season, including playoff games. Things would quiet down.
At a time when the world seems sour, sports give us a place of joy, community and hope, and to have it spoiled is a bigger loss than it seems on the surface.
The letter — surprise, surprise — is being mocked all over, mostly by irate Seahawks fans. Lest you think Judy and Rich's opinion is an aberration, check out this second letter to the editor, printed in Wednesday's Chronicle, that voices support for their idea:
I couldn't agree more with "Unsportsmanlike conduct in Seattle" (Letters, Sept. 17).
It wasn't a game of skill anymore; it was an exhibition of excessive stadium noise, posturing obscenities in your opponent's face to draw a foul and street-punk behavior to fire up tensions to gain any advantage to get the win.
I hope the NFL will listen before the fans go deaf. Please stop the excessive stadium noise, and just play football.
Ellen Gust, Palo Alto
I'm sure Judy, Rich and Ellen are perfectly nice people. But if you'd like to just watch football without any crowd noise, that's what television is for. You'll see the action better anyway. If you want to root for your team, go to the stadium and cheer yourself hoarse. That's what the gameday experience is for.

Low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) is when your blood sugar drops too low. It mainly affects people with diabetes.
Signs of low blood sugar include trembling and tingling lips. If not treated, you may get other symptoms, like feeling weak and blurred vision.
To treat low blood sugar, quickly have some sweets or a non-diet sugary drink. Then have some carbohydrate as a snack, like toast or a main meal.
If you have diabetes, low blood sugar can be caused by taking too much diabetes medicine, skipping meals or intense exercise.
You can lower your risk of low blood sugar if you have diabetes by checking your blood sugar, carrying a sugary snack with you and not skipping meals.

University of Houston System Chancellor and UH President Renu Khator has been nominated for the Light of India Award that honors individual excellence and exemplary achievements of global Indians in the fields of corporate, business, science technology and medicine, literature and journalism, arts and entertainment, and education and academics.
Khator is one of six global leaders nominated for the award in the category of education leadership. The award will be given by the Times of India in New York on June 1.
Two sets of awards will be given – jury awards and popular choice awards, which are determined by online voting. Voting is open until May 28 and takes place at: http://www.lightofindiaawards.com/
The awards aim to create a first-of-its kind platform to recognize excellence of Indians abroad across different fields. The awards also aim to give the more than 25 million other non-resident Indians the power to choose their 'Light of India.'
Khator is the UH System's first woman chancellor and the first Indian immigrant to head a comprehensive research university in the United States. She assumed her post in January 2008.
As chancellor of the UH System, Khator oversees an organization that serves more than 66,000 students, has a budget that exceeds $1.3 billion, and has a $3.5 billion-plus economic impact on the Greater Houston area each year.
As president of the University of Houston, she is the chief executive officer of the largest and oldest of the four UH System universities. UH enrolls 40,000-plus students, offers more than 300 undergraduate and graduate programs and awards 7,000 degrees each year.
During her tenure, UH has experienced record-breaking research funding, enrollment and private support. Recently, UH launched its 75-acre Energy Research Park, part of her $400-million campus construction program, and became a member of the Texas Medical Center.
In 2011, UH became a Tier One university, with the Carnegie Foundation elevating it into the top category of research universities. The university was also recognized by The Princeton Review for excellence in undergraduate education and by The Chronicle for Higher Education as an exceptional workplace.
Khator was born in Uttar Pradesh, India, earning a bachelor's degree at the University of Kanpur. She received her master's degree and her Ph.D. in political science from Purdue University. A noted scholar in the field of global environmental policy, she has published numerous books and articles on the subject. Prior to her appointment, she was provost and senior vice president at the University of South Florida, capping a 22-year career at that institution.
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has included her among its Outstanding Americans by Choice awardees, recognizing her achievements as a naturalized citizen. She and her husband Suresh Khator, associate dean in the UH Cullen College of Engineering, were honored with the prestigious Hind Rattan (Jewel of India) award, given to non-resident Indians for making outstanding contributions in their field. Purdue University awarded her its Doctor of Social Sciences degree, honoris causa. She is featured in the American Council on Education's video "The Joys of the Presidency."
Khator recently joined some of the world's most respected leaders when she was named to the Indian Prime Minister's Global Advisory Council. She serves on several boards, including the American Council on Education, the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, the Greater Houston Partnership, the Houston Technology Center, the Texas Medical Center Policy Council, the Methodist Hospital Research Institute Board, and the Business Higher Education Forum. She is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.Khator's husband, Dr. Suresh Khator, is associate dean of the UH Cullen College of Engineering. The Khators have two daughters, both of whom are ophthalmologists, and a grandson.

Using apt in an RPM world
Everytime I am surprised that people don't know that apt-get works on RPM-based distributions and works much better than the alternatives. Especially in a CentOS/RHEL environment where you have various distribution releases running, apt-rpm allows you to use the same apt version and the same apt features across CentOS/RHEL 2.1, 3, 4 and 5.
In an attempt to persuade you to try out apt, let me denounce some myths about the current apt-rpm:
- works on RPM packages
- can do multilib (coexist 32bit and 64bit)
- does check GPG keys on packages
- can work with repomd repositories (as used by yum)
- does work a lot faster than yum
- is being maintained (although could use more hands)
- has python bindings
- has a graphical interface (synaptics)
- handles multiple repositories much better
- allows to pin packages by version or repository (and manages cross-dependencies)
- existed years before yum (and was the only depsolver for a few years in the Red Hat world)
Now, because I can say it works great but you may not believe me, let me make it very simple for you to try it out on CentOS. Here is a quickstart guide...
First we start off installing apt from RPMforge. Follow the guide on the CentOS wiki to configure RPMforge for your system. Then do:
yum install apt
(or alternatively install the latest apt RPM package from http://packages.sw.be/apt/ for your distribution)
and then edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/os.list and add for CentOS:
repomd http://mirror.centos.org/ centos/$(VERSION)/os/$(ARCH)
repomd http://mirror.centos.org/ centos/$(VERSION)/updates/$(ARCH)
repomd http://mirror.centos.org/ centos/$(VERSION)/extras/$(ARCH)
This adds the official CentOS os, updates and extras repositories.
Now you can use it, for example do:
apt-get update
to update the locally cached metadata, or do:
apt-get upgrade
to upgrade your system with the latest updates, or yet, do:
apt-get install synaptic
to install a package named synaptic. Try:
to start synaptic and use the graphical interface (also available from System > Administration > Synaptic Package Management)
There are a few commands that use the locally cached metadata, the following apt-cache commands are used most often:
apt-cache search keyword
to search the local metadata for packages related to keyword, or:
apt-cache policy package
to show the different versions of a certain package that is offered.
PS And let me also add that the project name is apt-rpm, not apt4rpm (a complete different project).
I have been using Debian for
I have been using Debian for many years, and recently I had to start using Red Hat-like distros, Fedora and CentOS most of the time. I have serious issues against yum: speed, search and many others. Do you have experience with Debian? How different is apt-rpm? Do you use it on a daily basis on your servers?
Much like on Debian
It should be very much like apt on Debian since it is based on those sources. I do use it on a daily basis on a lot of servers and I have done so since 2002.
Why not try it out and give your feedback on this page ?
You think you know a guy....
Okay. Now my issue against
Okay. Now my issue against apt. When you look for an libraries which is needed in an package you can use in RHEL/CentOS environments
up2date --whatprovides=lib.so.5.2
yum provides lib.so.5.2
This shows which packages provides that specific file. apt does not have this feature as far as I know.
In apt you have a few
In apt you have a few possibilities. You could search based on filenames:
apt-cache search libc.so
Or you can install packages based on filenames:
apt-get install /usr/bin/elinks
It is also possible to add targets (written in lua) that do something more specific for what you want.
But for that I need to understand how you use it :)
re: In apt you have a few
"But for that I need to understand how you use it :)"
blokje exactly addressed my beef with synaptics (and perhaps the apt backend for all I know).
There are times where I need to install something that is not available from a repository (at all or perhaps just not in the revision I need).
In doing so (by compiling or whatever) it is quite possible to run into a requirement for a specific library or library revision. With yum it is easy to determine the package that provides any given file.
e.g. yum provides lib.so.5.2
When I last tried apt/synaptics with pclinuxos (don't recall the revision but it a few years ago in the "big daddy" era - BTW don't ever quesiton package management on the pclos forums unless you want to be chewed a new one - illustrates why I no longer have interest in pclos) I was told that apt/synaptic didn't do that and that since I knew enough to be compiling my own software I should know enough to find that information in other ways (e.g. google).
Thats fine I suppose (though doesn't work at all if you're not in an internet connected position) but I find it annoying to have to turn to google or take the easy way and turn to my centos box to do "yum provides" to then fix my apt/synaptics box which cannot do that.
Or can it? I think that was blokje's question and it is certainly mine. That feature alone makes me a yum fan. The underlying RPM package manager affords that feature and yum supports it.
apt-cache search only
apt-cache search only searches in package descriptions.
To search in the files provided by a package, use:
apt-file search libc.so
[This is the case for apt on Debian and Ubuntu. I'm
assuming that apt-cache's behaviour is not changed in
you can use apt-file search lib.so.5.2 for that :]
Thank the Nameless!
Now, I'm usually a Gentoo Guy, but using CentOs @ work. All i can say is _thank you_. apt aint no emerge, but it blows the stones off of yum. Thanks!
I just want all the package
I just want all the package managers to be able to use all the format types, just like File Roller can use RAR, ZIP, BZIP2, etc. Once that happens, the package format wars will subside as they won't be tied to a particular distro, and peace and harmony and Linux packages for all distros will finally come. Then, user's aren't screwed if a program only offers a DEB or RPM package for download when they aren't using a system that understands it.
I know the subject is not
I know the subject is not very easy, but think about what you are saying for a whole minute and then please conclude that your ideal world would be worse than anything under the sun today.
Hint: a package is not just an archive
Interesting article. Does apt-rpm work with the rpm database? What I am thinking about are dependencies when you are installing packages and such. I would be afraid to mix and match apt and yum if they were using separate structures for recording what is installed on the system.
Of course apt-rpm works with RPM packages. In fact it was the first depsolver in the RPM world that did. Since 2000 or 2001 it was used in the Red Hat world (remember FreshRPMS ?) to download, install and manage dependencies on Red Hat systems. Yum is much newer and became the default, but in my personal opinion apt is much more robust, faster and more versatile.
You can have both apt and yum installed on the same system, although you have to manage the repositories separately if you plan to use both. I do it all the time, use apt for most of the things and use yum if I have to test something or provide support on CentOS mailinglists/forums.
Viva Red Carpet!
Wasn't that out around 98 or so?
I don't think so. I was using
I don't think so. I was using apt before red-carpet was released by Ximian.
I don't see...
...how something functionally simillar is going to provide any advantage. In my opinion:
1. RPM==DEB==back-end package manager.
2. YUM==APT-GET==front-end to package manager that provides dependency management using meta-data features of the back-end.
3. Package-Kit==Synaptic==GUI for the front-end which makes it simple to use features through a GUI.
Now, if you find a feature missing in Package-Kit or Yum that is present in apt-get, it should be trivially easy to log a feature-request through appropriate bugzilla systems and get it included.
To me, on Fedora/Red-Hat systems, yum has always been better integrated with the RPM-backend and therefore the choice is moot. The choice, if I were to use Debian, would of course also be moot - it would be apt-get.
Does apt-rpm / Synaptic allow broken dependencies
Some time ago I have tried to use Synaptic (together with apt-rpm) as graphical package manager; around the times gnorpm finally stopped working. I have abandoned it because it didn't allow to proceed when I had some dependency chain broken, and it _had_ to remain broken (some package was installed only to bring some older version of library, and it had broken deps).
Someone needs to put together
Someone needs to put together a comprehensive equivilents page for rpm/yum and dpkg/apt for those who only know one system and have to administer the other on occasion. I've seen simple charts that say apt-get install is equal to yum install etc.. but what I want is a long list of equivalents between rpm and apt so that when I need to get a list of files in a certain package I can look for rpm -ql on the list and it will tell me the equivalent in APT/deb.. That would be handy.
Keep up the good work
Please keep up the good work. I personally use apt on all our servers and it works perfect.
I prefer aptitude over synaptic for better performance on remote managed sites. Creating an rpm for aptitude without your work on apt would probably freak me out - so keep up the good work.
managing *.list files
I'm still looking for a primer on managing the various .list files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ - I had an os.list that was kind of old, and things were 404ing for my RHEL4 system (that weren't when I set it up originally). I did an apt-get upgrade (with source info from apt.sw.be) and got told of an os.list.rpmnew, which had newer links to mirror.centos.org. I'm in the middle of another update/upgrade now, with the apt.sw.be commented out, and the entries for centos.org's os/, updates/, and extras/ enabled. (and golly, what's "fasttrack/"?)
Is that what I really want? Should I leave apt.sw.be in there too?
Something that presented this in an FAQ or other conventional wisdom would be great!
apt lover
I use ubuntu [debian] by choice because I only install what I need on a server most likely NEVER even an GUI. However apt [aptitude] quickly become one of your main tools
as an good sample install Centos, upgrade it then install apt as above and execute
apt-get --fix-broken install
You will be amased how many "broken" dependents are ther left by yum and others, aditionally it installs the perl stuffs also :) hmm....

Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or that some of the repositories
in use are in an inconsistent state at the moment.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
synaptic: PreDepends: scrollkeeper but it is not installable
E: Broken packages
yum install apt still says
yum install apt still says Nothing to do
apt for centOS6
I searched the website
There are no packages there for CentOS6. Today is July 12, 2013.
Correct, apt no longer builds
Correct, apt no longer builds for RHEL6/CentOS6. Yum is now the default package manager.

Helen saw this cool craft where you cover yarn with glue then wrap it around a balloon. The idea after that is to pop the balloon when the glue is dry and Voila! you have a cool hanging lantern.
Or not so much.
Helen definitely NAILED IT!
thank god! I thought I was the only string ball failure!!!
I have only ever seen this project done by coating the yarn/string with liquid starch, not glue.
Can you use powdered cornstarch dissolved in water?
I've had good results using Aleene's Fabric Stiffener!
soak the string in watered down glue (syrup consistency). carpentry grade ponal will work
this is beautiful! i made something that looked like this, but yours turned out better!i threw mine across the room!
the same xact thing happene to mine and i was doing it for centerpieces for a school luncheaon and we nailed these so we ended up doind cherry blossoms by taking real twigs and sticking pink paper crunched up on it. they actuall looked nice
I tried liquid cornstarch, a recipe which I got off the net and mine turned out the exact same way… I am so glad I wasn't the only epic fail!
I'm a string balloon failure too!!
I remember doing this at camp when I was younger…. and I seem to remember them just using watered down white glue (watered down to make it soak into the yarn better)…. mine worked out perfectly…. my mom actually still has it >_< that was some 15 years ago! lol

I used to make these all the time with string and sugar water.
These make great hanging lamps. Just leave a small "hole" at the top and a larger "hole" at the bottom (to get the light bulb in and out) when you are wrapping the yarn. Once it is dry, run the cord/chain for hanging up through the ball, secure the fixture in place, and hang the lamp.
Got it to work (not quite as beautiful result as the example, but not bad) with liquid starch and glue mixed.

Oh gosh ya'll make me feel so much better! I tried this with the string and powdered starch making it into a thick paste consistency. First off I soaked the string in the starch then wrapped it around the balloon.. That in it's self was a challenge. String kept falling off when I'd wind it around to the other side.. Anyway long story short mine looked like the sunk in ones..So if anyone knows EXACTLY, step by step how to do this, I'd love to know I have gone out and bought glues now so I will try the starch and glue together..I will let you know if I succeed… Please if anyone does it and it stays together, post it here Thanks!
Kite string and a mixture of sugar and water. I also put food coloring in the water.

I used white glue, modpodge glue, food colouring and water. I just had to push the balloon away from the string before I tried to pop the balloon. But 3 out of 4 worked the way they were supposed too.
i remember doing this, maybe in first grade. we used a liquid laundry starch instead of glue. after it dried, the art teacher carefully pricked the balloon near the knot to let the air escape slowly, the balloon just pulled itself away from the string no trouble at all. did you pop the balloon or let the air come out slowly?
I have just started making mine today. I bought cotton yarn in lovely colours (so I don't have to dye the yarn first!). I am using wallpaper paste which is very lumpy but seems to be working. My second balloon popped and then another one later. I was swearing at the tangled mess of yarn! I think it's because the balloons were blown up too much. It's worth the effort though…they look awesome.
I rolled the string into a ball, placed it inside a small zip lock bag with Elmer's glue and a little water. When I was ready to use it I opened the bag about an inch, pulled out the string and over my sink I wrapped it around my balloon. Works very well and if you don't use all the string you just zip the bag back up.

I then cut out stickers of things that were found in each location. I placed the stickers in a zip-up pencil bag. J pulled out one sticker at a time and decided which setting it should be placed in. This worked really well and kept him occupied for awhile (he had a lot of stickers to place).
We've also done a similar activity in a hotel room. I drew a train track, road and lake on some paper and he found stickers to place on each. He was then quite content to drive his cars around the tiny road for quite awhile!
Finally we've done something similar at a restaurant. I have a random assortment of items in my purse at any given moment. In this case stickers and index cards. We drew a setting on each one and he sorted the stickers.
These type of activities would also work well for long doctor appointments and car rides.
We do lots of sticker sorting around here since it is a great way for J to practice categories and also helps him with fine motor skills (getting the stickers off really works those pincher muscles). It also requires little prep on my part and the only supplies necessary are paper and stickers!
Here are a couple other examples I've posted on in the past:
We've also done shapes, seasons, letters and animal homes. The possibilities are limited only by your sticker collection.

Earth is losing dirt at an alarming rate

So that's where it all went?
I need another useless documentary to watch pronto. Send Al Gore the link immediately.
So this wuz old news 40 years ago ... and they're merely hearin' about it now?
The last sentence of the story is a truer summation of the problem, IMHO ...
In all seriousness... two words: "dams" and "levies". In most parts of the world, where farming is done in flat river valleys, topsoil is normally replenished by spring floods. Those don't happen they way they used to anymore, because rivers have been "tamed" by dams and channeled by levies.
And this:
The United Nations has warned of worldwide soil degradation -- especially in sub-Saharan Africa, where soil loss has contributed to the rapidly increasing number of malnourished people.
That is hardly the whole truth, as petty tyrants and near-constant civil wars have done far more damage to food production than erosion.
Acturally, I never watched the first one because I felt it was dirt. Well, I watched one minute and thirty seconds. Maybe. Doe Michael Moore read the blog or correspond with the blog? If He does, psssssssssssssst.
Somebody told me how frightening it was how much topsoil we are losing each year, but I told that story around the campfire and nobody got scared. -Jack Handey
some of us are working while you guys are over here reading dirty stories...
"Healthy topsoil is a biological matrix, a housing complex for an incredibly diverse community of organisms -- billions of beneficial microbes per handful, nitrogen-fixing fungi, nutrients and earthworms whose digestive tracts transform the fine grains of sterile rock and plant detritus into the fertile excrement that gave rise to the word itself ("drit," in Old Norse)."
i bet he's a real hoot at parties.
If the world needs more dirt then I'm willing to listen to bids. My boys room has plenty to go around. The auction starts at One MILLLLION dollars.
"It's hard to get people to pay much attention to this because, frankly, most of us take soil for granted."
[[scraping mud off bottom of boot]]
i'm sorry, what were you saying?
New Orleans had plenty of topsoil replenishment a couple of years back, but they didn't like it, don't farm much, and we paid to shovel it back in the river.
Yeah, he's a real fun-gi.
CJ - you can't shovel that stuff back into the river - that's polluting.
True story, I collected the samples and ran the analyticals and they weren't 'clean'. However, they were essentially identical with 'background samples from the City and the River, so it became more of a location issue. It wasn't conveniently located when it was in the houses.
This question has an answer. The dirt goes here.
I just sat at a ballpark in Jenks, Oklahoma, in the middle of a windstorm, watching my kid play baseball. I am happy to report that there is no shortage of dirt here. Most of it ended up either on the kids, or in the hair and teeth of the spectators.
Becky, what missed you, landed here in Duncan. Thanks.
becky, as a native Okie, that wasn't dirt... it was clay. ;)
Snork @ punkin.
Dirty Martini, anyone? The squirrel has the shaker, but I have sum Guy's
peanuts to trade.
Pour me one or three please Med. Its been an ugly day.
Evening all
One for me, Med? I'm planning on an ugly day tomorrow.
Med better get busy, there are some thirsty folks waiting. Hiya Bali
*slides two dirty martini's, straight up across the blog bar and slugs one for herself*
Me too, guys. My son has a 103 temp. sigh. I, of course, sent him to school,in spite of protests, this morning. Anyone ever heard of the boy who cried wolf? He's sleeping it off in the other room.
Is the son that will go to the Jesuit school next year? I went to the Jesuit school in Dallas growing up. Its a neat thing (provided one doesn't forget the important lessons like I often do)
Won't be the last time, Med. *glug glug glug*
'Nuther, please?
go kiss his forehead and whisper "i love you" to him.
that is what he needs right now, even while he is sleeping.
Aw, pack, you're a good'un.
pack, did that, and reloaded the wet washcloth for his forehead.
Yeah, Jug, same one. And you are so right.... those Jesuit dudes know how to educate and address the whole, big picture; mind, body, spirit.
I am looking fwd to mass quantities of homework. HA! Take that! No more complaining of boredom cuz the teachers in the public school are "reviewing material" to get ready for the critical standardized testing.
poor guy! At his new school I bet a teacher would notice he was 'off' and have him checked out. His temperature probably didn't show up until this afternoon, so you wouldn't have seen it this morning.
It was a good experience for me. Good luck to the both of you. Hopefully it will serve you both well.
The community service aspect was an eye opener for me.

Grrrr, dadgum bot
This is terrible news...has anyone notified the worms yet?
Hope your boy feels better soon, Med.
*takes bottle from Med and crawls under the bed*
See y'all Friday.
Thanks, jug. I have noted a quality that is unique in men who were educated by jesuits. The community service is a big part of that... but so is the bonding experience that comes from the lack of wimmin/competition.
And today, while he was passed out in class, someone stole his binder, all of his work, his planner, calculator, pens and pencils, etc. He was too ill to rage tonight .... but I am looking forward to that tomorrow.
Another Martini? I'm having a double. :)
don't know about the jesuits, but i have a 7-year-old son in private school.
his class visits the nursing homes once a week -- reciting poems, singing, etc.
which reminds me, does anyone have about 5k i can borrow?
i've spent all of my cash on gas.
at least i don't drive a dodge....then i would have gas AND repair bills.
I have a close friend from back then (he married my first love but that's a whole different story). We can go a month or two with out catching up, but still end up finishing each other's sentences. The whole experience is good. Although I hated it at the time, I can see the benefits of a male only environment too. I wish the two of you the best, and I hope he finds the idjit that stole his binder and teaches them some religion.
No more drinks for me tonight, I'm off to bed. Good night
pack, all i can say is, i am about to feel your pain. However, the pain we have been through in public schools is much, much worse and longer lasting.
jug, i have new respect. that. is. all. Good night too. I have to make ham, eggs, and biscuits for breakfast. before 7. :)
Sorry to hijack the blog. The subject was DIRT though.
no hijack...schools are full of dirt. My 9-year-old steals dirt from there every day in his sneakers. We just dump it on the Ford pickup next door. You know, the one up on blocks with the 'Union' sticker on it. Gives it some class.
Med...my daughter went to the girls equivalent of Jesuit school...School of the Sacred Heart in Miami, after similar experiences in public middle school here. It was great, and she loved it, and she drove her teachers nuts because she questionned EVERYTHING! She's 24, now, and she still does.
Oh, and ditto on the dirt. My kids have been away from home for 6 years, and I'm only just now getting rid of all the dirt. It helps not having a garage to keep it in.
Ok...here for a bit...and I feel your pain Med!! (we've talked about this already) Hope the kid is better in the morning. Wanna talk about stress??? Well...let me tell ya...my youngest has gotten into every art school she applied at AND the University of Florida (which is extremely hard to get into and a top state college AND would practically be FREE). Alas, no good art programs so that was out of the question. She got great scholarships everywhere but those private art schools are very expensive and she's now facing the reality that she may/will not go to her TOP school (Pratt) and may/will be going to Ringling (where her sister goes) and not necessarily her first choice. BUT, she's been accepted as a sophomore - meaning they've waived one whole year. And yet, she's STILL not thrilled.
Ferrrrrrrrrrrrnando?? gimme a double kamikaze, por favor!
BTW, Med?? AS you know, we were considering Kansas City and I was ready to fly us up there this week (thank you for wanting to take us in). She realized that KC did not offer the program of her choice (Illustration) so all of the sudden...she changed her mind.
Which means that, I'll still be going to KC to visit you. Soon. No kid! OY!
Siouxie, soy aqui, at your servicio. I took the libertee of warming some chocolates for you and your lady-frens....
*jumps behind the blog bar...misses and falls on her culo*
I'm OK!
*mixes up a batch of kamikazes and chugs one*
ohhhhhhhhhhh Ferrrrrrrrrnando! ju gots so mucho HAIRRRR on jur CHESTO! Don ju get dat on da chocolates.
I'll take a kami..a kamaka...ah heck! Siouxie I'll take whatever it is you're brewing.
May I get you sometheen, Doctorrr Ricardo? A theen meent, tal vez?
That would be lovely Ferrrrrrnando. Except lose the mint and add booze instead.

Wail Hail...I am ready for the sleep thing.
G'nite all and have a pleasant tomorrow. Smoooches Ferrrrrrrrrnando and Ricko!
That'd be lovely! And add an olive. Whatever that means. ;)
Nite Siouxie! Good luck with the kiddos.
*Puts out coffee, muffins, scrambled eggs, and juice. Gently shakes blogits awake.*
OOOOOOoooo...thanks, Cat.
(helps self to eggs & coffee. Sets out English muffins and jam)
Happy May Day!!
Thanks Cat
mmmm, coffee
Even if only one-year warranty is available to users by free when purchasing, lithium-ion laptop battery lifespan should be determined by recharging cycles which is related with its capacity. However, with time goes by, more internal resistances emerge inside the cells and other circuits, which will cause overheat or overloaded.
There's no denying for laptop battery that in the process of power supply, electricity energy is produced from lithium cobalt oxide, lithium oxide or other materials in electrolyte.

"We Buy Houses Maitland"
Sell Your House Fast – We Buy Houses In Maitland In Any Condition – Price Range –
Or Location In The Maitland Area – Sell your Maitland House fast
Hi, Im Christian with M&L Investment Group here in Maitland, FL.
If you need to sell your house fast in Maitland and surrounding areas… We'd like to make you a fair all-cash offer in minutes. And we'll even GUARANTEE that offer and can have a check in your hand in as little as 10 days. We have helped 100's of Maitland area homeowners sell their home. Homeowner's commented how easy the Maitland Home Selling process went. We are professional home buyers offering a Fast and Fair Cash offer with a Guaranteed on time closing usually in less than 7 days.
We buy houses in Maitland, in any condition… as-is… let us take over the burden of that unwanted property.
There are lots of situations where we can help, including… avoiding foreclosure, divorce, relocating, inherited or properties in probate or just a vacant house. Own a vacant house, upside down in your mortgage, behind on payments, owe liens, downsized and can't sell your house, needs repairs you can't pay for, fire damaged, bad rental tenants, and more. It doesn't matter whether you live in it, you're renting it out, it's vacant, or not even habitable.
Basically, if you have a property and need to sell it… we'd like to make you a fair cash offer and close on it when you're ready to sell.
Do You Need To Sell Your House Fast?
You've tried to sell your house but are running into roadblocks. You probably even tried calling a real estate agent. Sometimes selling a house the traditional way with a real estate agent is simply not the best for everyone. As you know, there can be lots of pitfalls when selling a house the agent route, including: having to clean up and repair the property so it shows well, finding an agent who you trust and who can deliver on their promise (selling your house quickly), signing a contract that binds you to an agent for a certain term, the piles of paperwork you have to sign, shuffling paperwork back and forth from buyer –> to agent –> to you… and back.
The biggest issue with trying to sell with a real estate agent or selling it yourself is often times retail buyers will tie up a home for weeks and pull out on the deal at the last second… or have their bank loan fall through.
It can all add stress, months to the process, and in the end after paying the agent fees, you may or may not be ahead of the game.
We at M&L Investment Group, LLC work differently. When you contact us and submit the short property information form (below), we will provide you a fair all-cash offer on your house within 24 hours of submitting the short property info form below and can close when you want to close – it's entirely up to you. If the house is in terrible shape and you don't want to (or can't) fix it up or even if there are tenants in there that you can't get rid of… NO problem, we'll deal with it for you. If you need to get something done quickly, we can close in as little as 7 days because we buy houses with cash and don't have to rely on traditional bank financing. (Go here to learn about our process <<)
In short…
No matter what condition your house is in; no matter what situation or timeframe you're facing…
Our goal is to help make your life easier and get you out from under the property that's stressing you out… while still paying a fast, fair, and honest price for your house.

If you simply don't want to put up with the hassle of owning that house any longer, and if you don't want to put up with the hassle and time-consuming expense of selling your property the traditional way, let us know about the property you'd like to be rid of and sell your house fast for cash.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Illinois law enforcement officials are producing informational videos to combat what they say is an "epidemic" of heroin use.
The Illinois State Crime Commission and the Police Athletic League of Illinois announced Wednesday the videos will be made available to police, educators and public health officials.
Crime Commission Executive Director Jerry Elsner says officials "must be prepared for the inevitable repercussions of the heroin epidemic."
Elsner says during one recent 17-day period, in DuPage County alone, there were 15 deaths caused by heroin overdose.
The first ad features teenagers playing ball in a park. One by one, they fall to the ground as an announcer asks: "When will we see this epidemic in plain view?"

I've been eying the cheesecake brownie muffins we sell in the bakery lately. I know I can't eat them (in my mind, they might as well be made of plastic), but I wanted to make them. Not having any recipes in all my cookbooks for what I wanted, I used my trusty Bakers brownie recipe and added a cheesecakey layer on top. Yum.
Cheesecake Brownies
4 squares unsweetened chocolate, chopped rougly
1 stick of butter
2 c sugar
3 eggs
1 t vanilla
1 c rice flour
Melt chocolate and butter, either in a double boiler or in the microwave. Add sugar, then eggs and vanilla, then flour. Pour into a greased 8x8 pan.
Cheesecake top
8oz cream cheese
1/2 c sugar
2 T melted butter
1 egg
1 t vanilla
Mix all ingredients together, spread over the top of the brownies. Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes (or more) until no longer jiggley and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. cool.
Note: I realized after I made this post that I didn't totally cook mine all the way. I would suggest cooking the brownies for 15 minutes, then adding the cheese topping, then cooking it for 35 minutes after that. Disregard if you like fudgey, fudgey brownies.
